Time in the pub is never wasted! 
Knowsley Safari Park? Make sure you go in someone elses car the monkey's will have your wipers off!
thats the one... i want to go there...looked good when i looked it up online... similar to longleat i think.... i think of nothing worse than travelling all that way and going from pub to pub to visit different family members who cant even be arsed to come to our hotel and meet us. we stay at premier inn with the riverside pub attatched to it.. (over the blue metal bridge) i wan to see different places up there not just the pubs lol

been to macclesfield and wimslow (that was nice place) ive certainly started to get around

(by travelling) since my divorce lol amazing what a different man can do for you lol
cumbria has been beautiful. we have been there a couple of times now. scotland is on the list too ( but partner doesnt drive and its a long way )
